What Is This About?

Our Campaign

Everyone in San Francisco should have an affordable, sustainable home. This measure will create a permanent funding source and set of rules to ensure a fair deal for anyone who lives or works in our city.

The Community Housing Act will require the City to create at least 1500 units of self-sustainable green municipal housing every three years near public transit. Some units will be purchases and renovations of existing buildings so tenants can stay in SF and afford rent. Others will be new construction of environmentally sustainable affordable homes.

​

These homes will be permanently owned by the City, with property management, asset management, and routine repairs performed by City employees. The City will be kept accountable by Community Councils composed of fellow tenants, elected by tenants, as well as by the Board of Supervisors. Private landlords wouldn't be able to raise your rent arbitrarily anymore.

​​

Along with the housing, this measure will create childcare facilities, neighborhood meeting spaces, and increased Muni service — all to address the systemic problems in our city and make life better for everyone.

​​

Anyone who lives or works in SF can qualify for a vacant unit. Your rent would be capped at 25% of your household's income, or a minimum rent that can't exceed $93/month, whichever is higher. Existing tenants will always get to stay in their unit if the City buys it up, and their rents will generally decrease. Everyone will benefit from the childcare centers, improved transit, and community spaces.​

Just like Medicare For All, other nations developed the solutions
to the housing crisis and the environmental crisis decades ago —
